Hamilton College will host a reading by 2009 Writer-in-Residence Dave King on Wednesday, Feb. 25, at 8 p.m. in the Fillius Events Barn. Free and open to the public, it is sponsored by the Dean of Faculty and hosted by the English Department. 

King will read from his debut novel, The Ha-Ha, which was named one of the best books of 2005 by The Christian Science Monitor and was included on The Washington Post list of the season's best novels. Critic Mark Kamine of The New York Times Book Review wrote, "Neither showy or histrionic, The Ha-Ha is full of emotional truth and establishes King as a writer of consequence."

King holds a BFA in painting and film from Cooper Union, and an MFA in writing from Columbia University. The Ha-Ha is currently in development with Tod Williams slated to direct. King is also winner of the Rome Prize and his poems have appeared in The Paris Review.  For further information contact Doran Larson, dlarson@hamilton.edu or 859-4297.
